Rügenwald District (Schlawe) Residents -- 1731 - 1803

A new publication in our IGS Library contains lists of residents paying land taxes and
mill fees in Rügenwald District, Schlawe Province, Pomerania (now Poland), between 1731
and 1803. Of course these lists include only the heads-of-household. A helpful chart
lists all the surnames included, showing how many times each surname appears in each
village.This is invaluable for identifying possible villages of origin, if your family
surname is not a terribly common one!

We can copy the chart for you showing how many times one surname appears in each
village will explain how you can then request a search in a specific village.

The 1731 lists are of residents paying land taxes either on lands of the Duke or on
Abbey Lands.The lists for 1736, 1742, 1748, 1757, 1770, 1775, 1787, 1795, 1803 are
of patrons of mills in the same jurisdictions, plus in the 3 independent towns in
that area.These lists should include most Heads-of-Household in those particular years.
